LEDA 1000714

[5][6] LEDA 1000714 is unusual because it is a Hoag-type galaxy with two nearly round rings, but with different characteristics.

The structure and photometry of LEDA 1000714 was studied with significant detail in 2017.

This is similar to Hoag's Object, and a number of other galaxies have been found that have a perfectly round center.

[3] The details of the formation of Hoag-type objects are still largely unknown.

[7] It has been suggested that the near-perfect core of Hoag's Object formed from a sort of "bar instability" where the central bar structure decays into a rounder core.
